The Tree Studio Origin Story
Who Am I?
And Why I Established TREE STUDIO?
I don’t have a dramatic story to entertain you, like someone who received an old camera as a birthday gift from his dad when he was eight years old and discovered the world through his lens.
My story is rather ordinary, even plain.
I used to work at the most famous wedding photography studio in Melbourne in the spring of 2006. My teacher, John, was also the studio manager. He had the best technique in Melbourne and was renowned for his extensive wedding photography experience.
I had to admire John’s deep knowledge of using flashlights and his almost perfect photography compositions. He is a Multi-Award-Winning wedding photographer for AIPP and WPPI.
From my memory, peers of wedding photographers in Melbourne called him Master John.
I started learning wedding photography by being Master John’s photographer assistant in the first year. His teaching manner was rigorous, but Master John also asserted I was one of his talented photography students among his followers.
He implied many times that I would be his successor one day.
The second year, that summer, Master John gave me the main wedding photographer role. I was finally allowed to shoot a wedding on my own.
In the beginning, I used all the knowledge gained from John. He demonstrated the wedding formalities and how to pose the wedding couples effectively. I immersed my wedding photography in perfect composition and sophisticated poses.
I felt self-satisfied, not only from Master John’s applause but also from a decent income from his wedding photography studio.
One night I looked through my recent wedding photography work as normal. Master John asked us to review our own wedding photos regularly and keep imitating his masterpiece of wedding photography as a daily task.
I suddenly realized all my recent wedding photos looked very similar: same poses, same perfect compositions, skillful flash technique. However, those wedding photos didn’t have any spirit within: they couldn’t reflect the wedding couple’s personalities or their authentic emotions.
Unfortunately, I encountered my bottleneck in wedding photography. I doubted I lacked the talent Master John described.
I was guessing I interfered with the bride and groom too much, particularly during the location photo. In simple words, I gave too many directions and took away the wedding couple’s freedom.
During my bottleneck time, my wedding photography philosophy was influenced by a British photographer who mastered the documentary and photojournalist shooting style.
The documentary-styled photography aims to capture the social event in an uninterrupted and honest manner. I was curious whether I could apply this documentary photography manner to the field of wedding photography.
In the following wedding, I tried to only give the bridal party necessary directions and let them freely engage with each other, relax, and fully enjoy their wedding day.
I used my observation skills to capture the best moments of their wedding day and real emotions.
The result was much beyond my expectation. The new wedding photography looked different and authentically reflected the wedding couple’s personal touch and wedding vibe with rich emotions. I gave my new wedding photography style a good name: natural and candid wedding photography.
I couldn’t wait to share this new wedding photography idea with Master John and wished to get his appreciation. I brought my recent wedding photographs to the studio the next day.
When I came to the studio, Master John was having a meeting with a newly engaged couple and showcasing his awarded wedding photography. I sat on the hard couch and waited for him to praise my photos.
The waiting was extremely long. One hour passed. Eventually, the wedding couple paid the deposit and left John’s studio happily. Then I walked towards John: ‘Hi Master John, I want to show you my recent photos. I have discovered a new style of wedding photography.’
‘Oh, let me take a look at my talented student’s work.’ Master John always liked to see my photos and show my work to his followers, and he said I was the photographer who shared the closest approach to his wedding photography style.
John took my USB and looked through my photos. He kept looking for more than ten minutes and didn’t even say one word, showing a sullen expression.
I had never seen John with that sort of facial expression when he was reviewing my photos. Indeed, he often criticized badly his other student photographers’ work.
There is no doubt he was utterly the most authoritative wedding photographer in the studio, not only because he was the most skillful photographer, but also because he was the manager.
However, it was the first time that he showed such expressions when reviewing my wedding photos.
‘Why didn’t you give the couple directions?’ Master John questioned me. ‘Only two years, and you became lazy like others.’
I didn’t understand what Master John meant and tried to explain, ‘I wanted to give the couple more room to discover their true emotions and take more natural and candid wedding photography.’
Master John suddenly stood up and became fiercely angry. ‘The photos are so bad! I can’t even find a single one with good composition, the couple’s postures look random. The photos don’t look like they are taken by a professional wedding photographer at all!’
‘Yes, they were taken by a professional wedding photographer—me, your best pupil—but from a different perspective.’
‘Do you dare to challenge me?’ Master John increased his volume.
I couldn’t breathe and attempted to avoid his gaze.
‘LISTEN TO ME OR GO AWAY!’
I surrendered. Not only did I respect Master John—he taught me everything—but also I couldn’t afford to lose a reliable income from John’s wedding photography company.
I promised I won’t do it again and ran off in a great panic from his office.
I came back home; I felt I was facing a dilemma.
I asked myself: Shall I give up my own approach to natural and candid wedding photography, or just be John’s good student and imitate his style without my own consciousness?
I realized that every wedding couple wants to be themselves rather than be overly posed and interrupted. No matter if a wedding photo has the perfect composition and pose, if all the photos look exactly the same with no spirit within, what is the meaning of a real wedding?
My conscience was suffering.
Who am I?
Should I be Master John’s good student, or insist on my own conception of wedding photography?
I love my teacher, but I love my candid wedding photography even more!
In the next wedding, I insisted on my own candid wedding photography, and I received good feedback from the wedding couple.
One day, Master John called me to his office alone. There was no surprise: I lost my job.
‘I did give you a chance. Leave my company now, you deserved it.’ This was our last conversation.
I received a last payment of $1450 from Master John a week later. He always kept his commitment.
Master John is a generous person, a great teacher, and the best wedding photography mentor in Melbourne. But we have different views.
Life had to go on. I didn’t worry too much about my wedding photography career. Nevertheless, I was one of the best pupils of Master John’s, and I had my own candid wedding photography style.
I believed I could have my own wedding clients very soon.
However, the reality crashed my dream immediately. Being a great wedding photographer and running a business are two different stories. I didn’t get to shoot one wedding in the six months after I left John’s wedding photography studio.
I clearly realized the greatness of Master John. He is not only a great photographer; he also has a strong sense of business.
Life is so short, no time to waste.
I had to start from the fundamental preparation. I needed a brand name, considering my natural and candid wedding photography philosophy. ‘Tree’ has natural and organic meaning; it is a great symbolic meaning for my own brand.
Moreover, I expected my wedding couples’ marriage life to be similar to a Tree’s: solid and happy. I called my own wedding photography studio: TREE STUDIO.
In the next three months, I performed intensive and well-organized preparation: establishing a website, designing the brand, as well as setting the marketing strategy.
To distinguish myself from other famous wedding photographers in Melbourne, I created a unique wedding photography brand, and the brand matches seamlessly and consistently with my own candid wedding photography style.
The business slowly got better. I got 17 weddings in the second year. Compared to John’s wedding photography studio, his company was like a mammoth, while TREE STUDIO was like a little ant.
Tree studio grew like a tree’s sapling, rooted deeply into the earth. I believed one day Tree studio would become like John’s company.
In late August of 2011, I met one wedding couple at my studio; they were Greek. They were planning a big wedding—350 guests. This kind of client is a big opportunity for a new company.
They sincerely told me that I was the third wedding photographer they met. They had met Master John a week earlier, and their parents quite liked John’s classic wedding photography style.
The bride and groom were not traditional Greek; they liked modern, contemporary-styled wedding photography. They wanted their photos to look natural, candid, and spontaneous.
They were hesitant between Master John’s giant company and my little company.
Master John had the absolute advantage. The bride’s parents agreed to pay for the wedding photography cost, and they preferred to book an experienced and reputable company like Master John’s company.
I knew my candid wedding photography did appeal to the wedding couple’s true perspective. I didn’t let them know that Master John was my mentor, nor the story between John and me.
When I found out they could hardly make a decision, I told them: ‘Comply with your free will. It is your own wedding; you don’t need to please anyone else.’
I complied with my own free will and established Tree studio. Today, I gave them the same suggestion.
Almost two weeks after, they paid the deposit into Tree studio’s account. I wouldn’t say my candid wedding photography won over John’s classic style. Everyone shall have the right to pursue their own freedom.
In the next few years, there were inevitable competitions between Master John’s company and TREE STUDIO. Sometimes he won, sometimes we won.
TREE STUDIO grew rapidly. Some fresh and talented wedding photographers joined my team. Mark was one outstanding photographer among the new photographers; he is smart and well-educated.
Mark’s mum is a violist and his dad is an architect. He was desperately fascinated with Renaissance art.
Mark had some photography experience in real estate before he joined my team. This experience helped him gain the capability to be a good wedding photographer in just eight months; he knew what the client’s needs were in terms of wedding photography.
Mark quickly became one of the best wedding photographers in TREE STUDIO and received a lot of good reviews from couples.
Gradually, I found he had the awareness of his own fine art wedding photography style.
Mark partly agreed with my natural and candid wedding photography. However, he suggested we shall use our aesthetic sense to get good resonance with the wedding couples’ personal touch and emotion.
Mark received more and better reviews than me. The arrogance and envy drove me to ignore Mark’s suggestion blindly.
The conflict appeared on the surface. In the beginning, Mark and me just argued our different opinions privately.
A few months later, Mark even affirmed that he disliked my wedding photography in public, in front of other photographers at Tree studio’s meeting room.
I couldn’t control my emotions instantly and increased my voice volume in front of the group of other colleagues in the Tree studio meeting room.
‘LISTEN TO ME OR GO AWAY!’ I said firmly.
Mark didn’t offend me with even one word, and he walked out of the Tree studio meeting room quietly.
I felt regret and ashamed straight away after all people left the room. I sat in the empty meeting room alone and asked myself:
Who am I?
Why did I repeat the same words Master John did to me five years ago?
There is no right and wrong with candid wedding photography. There is no excuse for me constraining Mark’s fine art wedding photography and his awareness.
Everyone should have their own pursuit. Like a tree, there are many roots to nurture the tree itself to keep life flourishing. Similarly, TREE STUDIO should absorb different views.
The next day, I completely revealed my thoughts. Mark accepted my apology, and our relationship is even better than before; we worked together like a team even more.
I rethought the relationship between Master John and me and our different points of view towards wedding photography style.
I then dialled John’s phone number; I hadn’t called this most familiar number for almost five years.
Just in a few seconds, dear John, my mentor, spoke to me like five years ago.
‘Hi my best boy, how’s it going?’

Tree Studio did a great job with our wedding photos, and were very helpful with providing copies (four years later) when our digital photos were lost
Bruce and Seth photographed our wedding last year, and I honestly get emotional every time I look back at the photos. They captured our day with so much love, warmth, and attention to detail. As the bride, I felt completely at ease with them, they were gentle, patient, and somehow knew exactly how to catch the moments that meant the most to us. Nothing felt forced or awkward everything was so natural and beautiful.A little while ago, my USB stopped working and I was sooo worried because I thought I’d lost everything. I reached out to the team, and they were so kind and reassuring. They fixed everything for me straight away and even uploaded a new copy for free. Their care didn’t stop after the wedding they continued to look after me long after the day was over.Bruce and Seth and also the Tree Studio team, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the memories you’ve given us and for the kindness you’ve shown. I couldn’t recommend you both more you truly made our wedding unforgettable.
Thank you so much to the team at Tree Studio for making our day memorable. From the first consultation to collecting our albums, we truly appreciate your professionalism, warmth and quality of service.
We used Tree Studio for our wedding day photography and videograohy services and they were absolutely fantastic! The staff on the day were great and were very enjoyable to have around, and the quality of the end products were fabulous. We were so happy with the service that we recommended them to family and both my brother and my sister ended up using them for their weddings also!
Highly recommend for anyone looking for wedding photography and videography services 🙂

Meet Our Team
Meet Our Team
Tree Studio is a team of photographers and filmmakers trusted by couples across Melbourne. Since 2009, we’ve been capturing weddings with quiet artistry—letting real moments and soft light tell their own stories.
I began this journey with a simple wish: to document love as it naturally unfolds. Seth, my friend of ten years, stood beside me from the start, offering unwavering support—and even his Canon 5D Mark III—to help bring this dream to life.
Back then, we had no name, no website, only passion and a deep respect for the couples who welcomed us into their day.
Then Angela joined us. Brilliant and determined, she built our first website from scratch and helped shape our purpose: to create honest, heartfelt images that feel true to each couple.
As we grew, we knew our little dream needed a name. “Tree Studio,” Seth suggested—a symbol of something young, nurtured, and quietly growing stronger year by year.
And that is what we’ve held onto ever since:
to make images and films that keep love alive long after the day has passed.

Our goal is simple: to give you timeless memories and a calm, stress-free experience from start to finish — something you’ll cherish long after the day has passed.
Q: Are you available on my wedding day?
A: No matter how much you like any photographer in Melbourne, the first thing you should confirm is their availability. Before booking our wedding photography or videography package, please feel free to send us an inquiry via our
contact page
.
Q: Where can we arrange to meet you?
A: As a professional wedding photographer, you can meet us at our studio at 246 Coventry St South Melbourne. There is plenty of parking in front of the studio. If you are far from Melbourne city, we can also make a Zoom meeting for your convenience.
Q: How far do you travel for a wedding?
A: Our primary service area is Melbourne, Victoria-wide. Sometimes, we also travel to interstates such as Sydney in NSW, Hobart in TAS, etc. If your wedding venue is located outside of Victoria, please make sure to inform us in the inquiry form.
Q: How do you charge a travel fee?
A: We waive the travel fee if the farthest location, such as the bride and groom’s preparation address, ceremony, and reception, is within 20 km of Melbourne CBD.
Beyond the 20 km radius, we charge $2 per kilometre per person.
For a precise quotation, please reach out to our wedding photography consultation via email.
Q: What cameras do you use?
A: We employ the latest mirrorless cameras, such as the Canon R5 or Sony A7 Mark 4. This cutting-edge technology enables our photographers to focus more on communicating with the bride and groom and capturing fine details on their wedding day.
While having quality cameras and lenses is essential, it’s the expertise of a professional photographer that ensures the delivery of exceptional photos.
Q: Do you use second camera?
A: Yes, the second camera is not only a backup camera, but it also allows the photographer to change different lenses without too much hassle. As a rule of thumb, the wedding photographer needs to capture precious moments that only happen once.
Q: What if I am not photogenic?
A: Not everyone feels confident and comfortable in front of lens, and not everyone is super model, so that why you need to hire a professional wedding photographer. One of essential job for the wedding photographer to ease the stress for the bride and groom to assure the photo look natural.
Professional wedding photographers have experience in using a better angle, lighting, and lens to make a good photo. Remember, your genuine smiles make for wonderful wedding photos.
Q: What if you are sick, do you have a backup plan?
A: When you think of this question, it proves that you are a thoughtful bride. The criteria of reliability are always crucial considerations for a professional wedding photographer. We are a team of wedding photographers based in Melbourne; we always have a photographer working at the studio to cover emergencies. Their daily job is editing, but if your main wedding photographer gets sick or has any unwanted accidents, the backup wedding photographer can be your lifesaver.
Q: Do you have a second photographer?
A: Most of the time, we have one photographer on the wedding day. However, in certain circumstances, when the bride and groom need to get ready simultaneously in the morning, they may require two wedding photographers. Weddings that incorporate cultural traditions, such as Lebanese, Vietnamese, Jewish, etc., benefit from having two photographers who can capture these customs more thoroughly than a sole wedding photographer.
At Tree Studio, we function as a team. If you’re interested in hiring a second wedding photographer, please mention it during our initial meeting.
Q: Can you work with a wedding videographer?
A: That is not a problem. Indeed, we prefer to work with a wedding videographer from Tree Studio because we are familiar with their shooting method. However, we often work with wedding videographers from different companies as well.
To ensure that the wedding photographer and videographer are on the same page, we schedule a phone call a week before the wedding. A simple chat can help the wedding photographer and videographer get to know each other.
Q: What if it rains on the wedding day?
A: In Melbourne, we can experience four seasons in one day. However, a rainy day is not bad for wedding photography. The light drizzle and overcast weather create a soft and even light for the wedding photographer.
If you plan to take wedding photos in Melbourne city, there are many locations that provide shelter, such as Parliament House, NGV, and the State Library.
If you are getting married in the countryside, such as the Yarra Valley, Dandenong Ranges, or Mornington Peninsula, these locations lack shelter. In such cases, you can bring clear umbrellas for wedding photos, as some of these umbrellas can add a touch of pomp to creative wedding photography.
Q: How many photos do you provide?
A: Every wedding and photographer can provide a varying number of photos. Generally, Tree Studio offers 100 photos per hour. For example, if you book our 6-hour photography coverage, you might receive 500-600 photos.
Q: How many photos do you edit?
A: We apply color correction to all photos. Let me briefly explain what color correction entails. When wedding photographers capture photos, they typically use the RAW setting, which preserves the full color spectrum and contains rich information on exposure and color temperature.
On the wedding day, due to the fast pace of work, the photos may vary in exposure and color temperature. For example, there may be underexposed or overexposed shots, and the color temperature may differ in various environments, such as warm color themes in a chapel with chandeliers or cool color themes in a forest.
Consistency in appearance is crucial for a professional wedding photographer. During the color correction process, we ensure consistent exposure and color temperature across wedding photos. Additionally, appropriate color correction can enhance the natural appearance of people’s skin tones.
Q: Do you have a watermark on the photo?
A: For the wedding photos provided to the couples, there are no watermarks. You can rest assured knowing that you won’t incur hidden costs for the removal of watermarks at Tree Studio. Additionally, we include high-resolution photos in our package for our couples.
We only use watermarks on the photos published on our website and social media platforms. This precaution is taken to protect our copyright.
Q: Who is the best wedding photographer in Melbourne?
A: Personally, I would say Tree Studio is the best wedding photographer in Melbourne. Don’t rush to refute me just yet. I believe every wedding photographer thinks they are the best in Melbourne but doesn’t dare to say so because it doesn’t seem humble.
However, if you don’t even believe you are the best wedding photographer in Melbourne, how can couples have confidence in choosing you for their wedding?
When I proclaim Tree Studio as the best wedding photographer in Melbourne, I don’t base it on self-ego or delusion. I aim to provide solid evidence to support my claim that Tree Studio is indeed the best wedding photographer in Melbourne.
Here are 7 reasons to support my assertion that Tree Studio is the best wedding photographer in Melbourne.
1. Dedicated Team – Tree Studio is a company that has dedicated wedding photographers, sales consultants, managers, and editors. A well-organized company is more effective than an individual wedding photographer.
I know some individual wedding photographers claim that they work with couples from the initial meeting to the album design. However, a single case cannot infer a general phenomenon.
Why were our ancestors able to defeat wild animals, such as tigers and lions, in dangerous circumstances? It was not because we are stronger, faster than animals. As humans, we know how to cooperate with others.
This simple concept also applies to wedding photography. I rarely find a wedding photographer who is expertise all in consultation, marketing, photography, customer service. If someone could be perfect in everything, they must be an omnipotent God.
Whether couples can hire a God to be their wedding photographer, or whether God exists in the world, I confess I don’t know. If there’s something I don’t know, I remain silent.
If God does not exist in Melbourne, or if He doesn’t want to be a wedding photographer, I can confidently say that Tree Studio is the best wedding photographer in Melbourne based on my logical deduction.
If you are a wedding photographer aiming to claim the title of the best wedding photographer in Melbourne, you must prove that you are better than Tree Studio. To overturn my logical deduction, you must either be a God or not an individual wedding photographer.
2. Backup Wedding Photographer Plan – Tree Studio has a backup wedding photographer. Couples might overlook this important criterion or believe it’s a reason to consider Tree Studio as the best wedding photography company in Melbourne. I’d like to emphasize that reliability is a necessary factor for wedding photographers. If your chosen photographer cannot be present on your wedding day, there’s nothing further to discuss.
At Tree Studio, we have in-house wedding photographers working at the studio. Their daily job involves editing photographs, but in case of emergencies, our backup wedding photographer can step in for any photographer who is sick or facing unexpected issues.
If you are a wedding photographer in Melbourne aiming to claim the esteemed title of the best wedding photographer, you must prove that you are superior to Tree Studio. Having a backup wedding photographer is a prerequisite to challenge Tree Studio’s merit.
3.In-House Marketing Team – Tree Studio boasts an in-house marketing team. Some wedding photographers laugh when they see this reason. However, those photographers who mock my statement while bearing the brunt of hefty advertising bills might reconsider their amusement. Indeed, advertisements can be quite expensive, often cutting into the profit margins of wedding photographers. Interestingly, couples frequently allocate significant funds to advertising but may skimp on investing in wedding photography services.
Fortunately for Tree Studio, we have a seasoned in-house marketing team. Most of our exposure comes from Google, YouTube organic traffic, and referrals from satisfied customers. While we do participate in wedding expos and run social media ad campaigns, we strive to keep these costs to a minimum. This long-term marketing strategy ensures that Tree Studio prioritizes investment in the quality of wedding photography and customer service over advertising.
So, if you’re a wedding photographer in Melbourne aspiring to claim the prestigious title of the best wedding photographer, you must demonstrate that you surpass Tree Studio. To counter my logical deduction, your exposure should predominantly rely on organic marketing rather than expensive ads.
4. Comprehensive Wedding Photographer Training – Tree Studio offers comprehensive and ongoing training. While I acknowledge that some wedding photographers possess natural instincts and talents that enable them to capture stunning wedding photos, great intuition and artistic sensibility alone won’t suffice to become an exceptional wedding photographer. Continuous training is essential to elevate oneself and take the next step towards earning the title of Melbourne’s best wedding photographer.
At Tree Studio, we provide a complete wedding photographer guide and a guide to the top 20 wedding photo locations, both of which can be found on our website. We are passionate about sharing these resources with photographers aspiring to become professionals in the wedding photography industry. Additionally, we offer internal training materials exclusively accessible to our team members at Tree Studio.
So, if you aim to be recognized as the best wedding photographer in Melbourne, you must demonstrate that you surpass Tree Studio in skill and expertise, and you must commit to comprehensive training. Importantly, this training should be documented in writing, not merely conveyed orally.
While some may argue that oral instruction qualifies as legitimate training, consider this: throughout human history, literacy has been a hallmark of advanced civilizations. In the same vein, for training to be credible and comprehensive, it should be meticulously structured and documented in written form.
5. In-House Editing Team – Due to cost constraints, many wedding photographers outsource their post-editing overseas. While this can save both money and time, and some overseas photo editing companies may provide reasonable quality for color correction, if you aim for the highest quality in your final production, in-house editing is essential.
The reason is simple: every monitor displays colors differently. An overseas editor cannot guarantee that the photo will look accurate on your monitor. If you’re creating an album for your clients, you cannot ensure color accuracy in the album if you’ve outsourced the editing work overseas.
In-house editing offers numerous benefits beyond color accuracy. The primary drawback is that in-house editing can be more expensive than outsourcing, because Australian labor costs are significantly higher than those overseas.
However, if you aspire to be recognized as the best wedding photographer in Melbourne, you must edit photos in-house.
6.Pricing – Setting a practical price is crucial for a successful wedding photographer’s business. According to the Easy Wedding report, the average cost for a wedding photographer in Melbourne was $3,152 in 2022.
Tree Studio’s essential 6-hour wedding photography package starts at $1,799 (as of 2024 pricing).
The average price for wedding photography is approximately $3,000, which closely aligns with the figure from the Easy Wedding report.
If we consider $3,152 as the median price from Easy Wedding, any price below this can be considered affordable for a wedding photography package. Tree Studio’s starting price is below $3,152, positioning it as competitively priced in Melbourne.
We can all agree that affordability is a key consideration for consumers. Few people want to overpay for anything. While some might argue in favor of luxury brands like Ferrari or Louis Vuitton, people are often paying for the brand’s prestige rather than production costs. Higher prices are generally not seen as a merit by most consumers; affordability is.
If you aim to be recognized as the best wedding photographer in Melbourne, maintaining a price below $3,152 is crucial to be seen as affordable. However, it’s equally important to ensure that the quality of your wedding photography service remains exceptional. Balancing affordability with quality is undoubtedly challenging.
If you want to be the best wedding photographer in Melbourne, higher price is a hindrance. You need to manage your price under $3152 to earn a criteria of affordable. But, at the same time, you need to keep your quality wedding photography service still magnificent. Yes, I agree it is not an easy job.
7. Wedding Photography Style in Melbourne – While photographers in Melbourne differentiate themselves through various styles such as natural and candid, editorial, traditional, and documentary, no single style can claim the title of the best wedding photographer in Melbourne. Just as one key cannot unlock every door, a particular photography style may not resonate with all brides.
At Tree Studio, we prioritize our clients’ preferences. We strive to connect deeply with the bride and groom, empathizing with their feelings, understanding their perspectives, and embracing their likes and dislikes. We don’t just capture moments; we become their eyes, see the world on their special day.
To truly excel as the best wedding photographer in Melbourne, one must not confine themselves to a specific photography style or impose their personality excessively. Overwhelming a couple’s wedding with too much personal influence can detract from their unique experience.
All the evidence and statements above are based on objective criteria. As a rational wedding photographer in Melbourne, I don’t want to make flashy claims without substance. All my statements have solid and objective evidence to support the conclusion that Tree Studio is the best wedding photographer.
If you wish to challenge my conclusion, you need to present logical statements to counter my arguments or demonstrate that you surpass Tree Studio’s criteria. However, at the very least, you must possess these merits first.
